Abstract
A structural member having at least two non-coplanar surfaces is reinforced by providing a drop in insert between the surfaces. The insert is a carrier having an expandable structural foam intimately bonded to the carrier. When the foam is expanded, the foam becomes intimately bonded to the surfaces of the structural member to reinforce the structural member.
